Style: Professional Outfit

When I got my first engineering job, it was in the heyday of
the yuppie and everyone dressed up for work.Men wore slacks, shirts with collars and often ties, and
women wore suits, dresses, or slacks and dressy blouses with closed toe
pumps.No one ever wore jeans to
work.As time went by, dress
standards relaxed, but I still like the idea of looking professional at work.

If I were an engineer now, this is the sort of outfit I’d
wear-slacks, a sweater and high-heeled pumps.It looks put-together, but doesn’t take itself too
seriously.The sweater is from
Club Monaco, and I like how there appears to be another layer underneath
it.These Limited slacks are very
old, but I can’t bring myself to get rid of them-they’re a classic piece, look
work-appropriate and, best of all, can be laundered at home.Accessorized with black pumps, a black
clutch and a tassel necklace, it looks like I’m ready for business.
